Includes bibliographical references and index.
There is ever growing recognition by governments and healthcare professionals of the need to respond to the challenges of preventable diseases, especially so-called 'lifestyle diseases', and of the influence that social class, gender, ethnicity, as well as individual differences play in health. This text explores the fundamental importance of psychology in the development of these lifestyle diseases, and how an understanding of psychological models is essential for the healthcare practitioner to predict behaviours and develop evidence-based interventions.
